Overview
Linear motor axis with moving magnet principle (coil unit with measuring head is fixed and the magnetic track moves the slide with a measurement system)
For positioning of optics
Demands
Use in clean rooms ISO class 100 - no abrasion or wear on the cables
Use in 3-shift operation on 7 days/week
Very high mechanical accuracy
Temperature stability: 22°C ±2°
Implementation
A common recirculating linear ball bearings for all slides
Base plate material selected according to the thermal expansion coefficient of the guide
Construction and drives offset from each other - to optimize the overall length
